Byron the Quikrete you sand you used was it brownish with little pieces of would in it?

Sand is tan/gray dry, a mix of black/white/tan/gray particles. It is ideal for aquaria as it is not rough, so for burrowing fish this is what you want. I got mine at Home Depot in Canada, i believe Lowe's also carry it. Quikrete Play Sand.

On the eel, there are several species and I am unfamiliar with these. The common Tire-Track Eel is in this genus, it attains 3 feet.

According to the wholesaler it should only get up to 8in...did your sand have little pieces of wood in it?

As I said, size depends upon the species. There are some 24 species in this genus...which by the way is no longer valid as Afromastachembelus, but now is just Mastachembelus. I wouldn't trust the dealer without knowing the species.

No, there was no wood in the playsand, and so far I've gone through 6 bags.
